Both are excellent. Milwaukee Packout has more SKUs (over 50 components), a more flexible attachment system, and broader third-party accessory support — it's the more dominant platform in the Houston trade market. DeWALT ToughSystem 2.0 is more rugged for heavy commercial use, with thicker walls and a more robust latching system. The deciding factor for most contractors is which cordless platform they're already on, since both systems integrate with batteries and chargers from their parent brand.

Veto Pro Pac LC, MC, or TP-XXL are the most-specified electrician bags in the industry — open-top tote design for fast tool access, dozens of dedicated pockets, and weatherproof bottoms. Klein Tradesman Pro bags and Milwaukee PACKOUT tote bags are strong alternatives at lower price points. For service electricians making multiple trips between truck and panel, a backpack like the Veto Pro Pac Tech Pac is the more ergonomic choice.

For framing and finish carpentry, yes — Occidental Leather and similar premium leather belts mold to the body, distribute weight better, and last 10-20 years with care. For electrical, HVAC, and general mechanical work, ballistic nylon belts (CLC, DEWALT, Klein) are lighter, weather-resistant, and faster to clean. Most pro framers swear by leather; most electricians prefer nylon. Tool Mart stocks both.

Yes — Tool Mart stocks Knaack jobsite chests and gang boxes, Jobox truck boxes, and Milwaukee PACKOUT lockable cases for overnight tool storage. For commercial sites where tools stay on location, Knaack 89 Series and 119 Series chests are the most common SKUs, with heavy-duty padlocks rated to withstand cutting attempts.
